A great day at College Town Primary in Berkshire today for their first consultancy day. We worked on curriculum mapping and spent time with teachers on their upcoming texts focussing on shared writing - some great writing already on show! 📖 🖊️ 🌍 @theliteracytree

Finding the right book, for the right reader can be the key that unlocks a love for reading and literacy skills for life. We believe that *all* reading is valid. Comic books and graphic novels can be especially powerful for reluctant readers. #GrowAGenerationOfReaders
On the topic of children's reading for pleasure, I don't think that there is any one area of publishing that is more valid/useful than any other. Serious books can be as easy to read as funny ones if you're in the right mood. The key is to access the right book at the right time

What a fab way to kick off the new half term - launching our Writing Roots with the wonderful @PrimaryPerivale team. We had such fun journeying through our resource for The Wilderness and writing creatively for a range of audiences and purposes. @theliteracytree

My little bit of good news this morning! 💚🌳 Absolutely thrilled!
We're delighted that our picture book, The Wild by @yuvalzommer, has been nominated for Carnegie Medal for Illustration 2025 (@CarnegieMedals)! For the Wild to be healthy, someone must be brave enough to raise their voice... #Carnegies2025 #YuvalZommer #TheWild

Today in English we started looking our new book which is about dreams. We then wrote about our own dreams and made a prediction using the front cover what we thought the book would be about.
